BOOKING PROCEDURES

The Centre in Vancouver thanks you for your interest in booking the venue; below you will find some helpful information to aide you through the process. For booking The Centre in Vancouver please contact Diane Heal at (604) 699-8760 or dheal@centreinvancouver.com

First Hold

A first hold may be placed on a date for a limited time without a deposit.
The first hold is considered a tentative booking only.
As soon as a decision is made regarding the date, we request that the theatre be contacted to confirm or release the hold.
Once the theatre is notified of a decision to use a date, a signed contract and a 50 percent deposit on the base rental must be received for a booking to be fully confirmed. No Tickets may go on sale until a signed contract with deposit has been executed.

Second

A second hold may be placed on a date with an existing hold.
If the first hold cancels, the second hold will be contacted and offered the space.
Should the second hold wish to secure the date they may challenge the first hold by paying a 50 percent refundable deposit. Once this deposit is received, the first party will be contacted. They will have a set time to go to contract or release the date.
If the first hold pays the deposit and confirms the date, then the challenge deposit will be returned. Alternatively, if the first hold declines, then the challenging hold will retain the date and the deposit becomes non-refundable.
Once the contract is signed, the event is confirmed the 50 percent non-refundable deposit will be credited to the final bill.

Cancellation

If an event is cancelled after a deposit has been paid, the deposit is forfeited along with any incurred or committed expenses.

Insurance

All licensees of the building are required to obtain general liability insurance coverage in the amount of $2,000,000.00 inclusive per occurrence. Insurance is mandatory; proof of insurance must be provided to The Centre in Vancouver prior to the event.

Ticketing

Everyone attending an event at The Centre in Vancouver, including children of any age (including babes-in arms) requires a ticket.

The Box Office is unavailable to licensees whose tickets are not sold through Ticketmaster. At your request, a table may be set up in the lobby on the day of your performance for ticket sales.
